Google DeepMind continues to invest its AI research into areas that could restore cultures of centuries long gone.The latest update to its ancient Greek restoration toolkit, Ithaca (successor to Pythia) claims to help historians restore damaged texts within 30 years of their date ranges and more."While Ithaca alone achieves 62% accuracy when restoring damaged texts, as soon as historians use Ithaca their performance leaps from 25% to 72%"An example: https://ithaca.deepmind.com/?image credit: pixabay
In a normal internal combustion (IC) engine, the crankshaft (+ rods, wristpins & pistons) is the mechanism which captures a portion of the energy released by combustion and converts it into motion. WaveTech Engines have re-thought the normal IC design and created a more "wave-like" motion for pistons vs the tradition up and down rotation. Under computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis, this design indicates 40% less fuel is required for the same or more useable power. In other words greater energy productivity, with added benefits of lower fuel costs and lower emissions. https://www.wavetechengines.com/index.html
As Australia is battling its severest floods yet, the devastating effect floods have on our communities are becoming painfully clear. With floods being predicted to displace 50 million people by 2100.
It would be amiss not to highlight the Brisbane startup previously featured on IdeaSpies. FloodMapp. They are on a mission to shake up hydrology and predictive analytics with their modern approach to flood data. Using real-time specific flood forecasting and mapping, FloodMapp interoperates with existing geographic information systems and provides situational awareness to emergency response and recovery personnel. Improving the emergency management process.

After suffering 3rd-degree burns from an explosion and house fire, Jeremy Kronk dedicated his life to preventing grease fires in commercial kitchens.Although Australia has strict regulations on kitchen exhaust hoods, ongoing maintenance is difficult, and the cleaning of them is almost always out-sourced, and reliant on chemicals agents.Kronk founded ‘Shepherd FIlters’, a wool based, biodegradable, disposable, fire-resistant grease filter.Wool is naturally resistant to bacteria, mould, and mildew, absorbs and neutralises many harmful pollutants from the air, and has such an affinity for oil, that 98% of grease particles are caught BEFORE accumulating inside the hood.www.shepherdfilters.com
